I understand you're navigating the dating scene after your divorce and considering dating someone who is HSV positive. Let me address this with care and understanding.Since you mentioned having breakouts in the past, it would be helpful to first confirm your own HSV status through proper testing if you haven't already done so. This will help you make informed decisions about your dating life.When it comes to dating someone who is HSV positive, this is a personal choice that depends on various factors, including:- Your own HSV status- Your comfort level with the situation- Open communication with potential partners- Understanding of transmission risks and prevention methodsThe most important aspects are:1. Being honest about your health history2. Having open discussions with potential partners3. Making informed decisions based on mutual understandingI strongly recommend discussing your specific situation with a healthcare provider who can:- Confirm your current status- Provide personalized medical advice- Help you understand any risks involved- Discuss prevention strategiesRemember, many people have successful relationships regardless of their HSV status when there's proper communication and understanding between partners.
